Phys.org / Horizon edge states gain finite description in string theory calculation
Modern physics theories highlight the key role of horizons—boundaries beyond which information cannot reach an observer—in a variety of cosmological and gravitational phenomena. Two renowned examples of these boundaries are ...
Medical Xpress / Survey finds half of US employees struggle to cover basic expenses due to health care costs
U.S. employees are highly motivated to improve their health but are limited by finances, time and work structure, according to a recent survey conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of the American Heart Association.

First-time mothers in England who face care proceedings are 21 times more likely to die within 10 years of the birth than mothers of the same age who don't experience this, finds an analysis of family court proceedings, published ...
Phys.org / NASA should build a biocontainment facility on the moon to protect Earth, researchers advise
A biocontainment facility designed to protect Earth from potentially hazardous biotic contaminants from space should be part of a planned NASA base on the moon, a policy paper maintains.
Phys.org / The Sun may not engulf Earth after all, scientists say
Need some good news on a Friday after a long week? The Earth may not be engulfed by the expanding fireball of the dying sun, which has long been assumed to be our home planet's ultimate fate, according to scientists.
Medical Xpress / Two patients with severe autoimmune disease remain relapse-free for over 15 years after stem cell transplant
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a rare autoimmune condition in which the body's own defenses turn against the optic nerves and spinal cord. This confusion leads to inflammation that can rob people of their ...
Phys.org / Quantum gravity research links continuous parameters to local operators within the theory itself
A researcher at Kyushu University and his collaborators have shown that continuous parameters in quantum gravity may not be freely adjustable "dials" from outside the theory, but rather arise from operators within the theory ...
Tech Xplore / Instagram users prefer harmonious colors in brand content
Brands seeking attention on social media outlets such as Instagram may benefit from keeping the colors in their posts visually consistent, according to research published in the International Journal of Mobile Communications.
Phys.org / Einstein Probe detects mysterious X-ray transient that doesn't fit any known class
Astronomers have reported the discovery of an unusual X-ray transient detected by the Einstein Probe that does not fit any known class of cosmic explosions. The paper presenting its multiwavelength analysis was published ...
Science X / Could less caffeine be the smarter performance enhancer? Scientists find a surprising sweet spot
Think of an athlete eyeing the finish line—could a single shot of caffeine be the difference between a podium finish and a personal best? For decades, runners and cyclists have treated the stimulant as a near-magical performance ...
Phys.org / Corrected Pantheon+ analysis of supernovae challenges accelerating universe claim
Research led by the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, along with Professor Subir Sarkar from the University of Oxford, questions the widely accepted argument that the expansion rate of the universe is accelerating ...
Phys.org / Antarctica is offering 30 to 50 years' worth of warning on sea level rise, models suggest
Scientists predict that the next three to five decades provide a critical window to anticipate and plan for Antarctic ice loss and its contribution to sea level rise. Research published in Nature, led by Monash University ...
